Exposed to bemore perfectly dried in the sun, this became very white and fine, havingthe usual flavor of very excellent common salt, without any foreign taste;but only a little was collected for present use, as there was in it anumber of small black insects. Carrying with us the barometer and other instruments, in the afternoon weascended to the highest point of the island--a bare, rocky peak, eighthundred feet above the lake. Standing on the summit, we enjoyed anextended view of the lake, encl...osed in a basin of rugged mountains, whichsometimes left marshy flats and extensive bottoms between them and theshore, and in other places came directly down into the water with bold andprecipitous bluffs. Following with our glasses the irregular shores, wesearched for some indications of a communication with other bodies ofwater, or the entrance of other rivers; but the distance was so great thatwe could make out nothing with certainty. To the southward, severalpeninsular mountains, 3, 000 or 4, 000 feet high, entered the lake, appearing, so far as the distance and our position enabled us todetermine, to be connected by flats and low ridges with the mountains inthe rear.
